by R. Cort Kirkwood, The New American:
Weeks ago, podcaster Tucker Carlson and former GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene bolted the political party to which they had long belonged.
Now, they say, it’s time for a third party.
The reason: President Donald Trump’s betrayal of his base in starting another foreign war at the behest of Israel.

Carlson’s call for a third party came during an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review. MTG, as she is known, told English podcaster Piers Morgan that Trump has turned into a combination of Israel First chicken hawks Mark Levin, the Fox News bloviator, and GOP Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
The We The People party, which reposted Greene’s interview, has created a website and X account.

The best you’re gonna see there is just this suppurating wound.” And he said, “I know.”
Carlson said Fox tycoon Rupert Murdoch called Trump thrice daily to urge him to attack Iran. “And I know that because I’ve talked to Trump about it many times,” Carlson said.
The podcaster called Trump’s memorandum of understanding with Iran a “humiliating defeat for the United States.” But better that than going on, he said.
Noting that he never posts on social media, Carlson said that “the lesson of the last two and a half months” to him concluded a third party must be built:
